Crew-7 has arrived at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, in the run-up to the International Space Station launch.

Crew-7 consists of ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen, taking the role of Dragon spacecraft pilot, NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli is commander, Satoshi Furukawa from JAXA and Konstantin Borisov from Roscomos are mission specialists.

This video shows scenes of Crew-7 arriving at the Kennedy Space Center, during launch rehearsal, and Andreas Mogensen training for his mission in space.

Andreas and Crew-7 will launch in the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft Endurance from launch pad 39A. This is the launch pad for all crewed

The quest for the true value of the Hubble constant (H0) tension which gives a measure of the current expansion of the Universe is still on. The fervent debate today is about the discrepancy between the H0 values obtained from type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and from the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB), a radiation emitted from the early Universe close to its origin. Because of thi

The Land Surveyor 4A, the world's first synthetic aperture radar satellite in high-altitude orbit, has successfully moved into its preset orbital position and has unfolded its radar antennas, according to the China National Space Administration. Dedicated to natural disaster prevention and mitigation, the remote-sensing satellite was carried into orbit on a Long March 3B rocket that was la

A senior environmental expert has called on local governments along the Yangtze River to improve their remote sensing-based aquatic ecological monitoring capabilities, as China plans to introduce an environmental evaluation and assessment mechanism that no longer focuses on pollution control in the basin of Asia's longest watercourse. Based on pilot programs this year and the next, the nat

Earth planning date: Friday, August 18, 2023: The Gediz Vallis Ridge has been a long-term, and, at times, seemingly impossible goal of the Curiosity Rover mission. Our path to it has repeatedly been diverted from our first difficult climb onto the Greenhugh Pediment way back in 2020, our dead-end foray onto and across the pediment through a steep side ravine of the Gediz Vallis, ultimately block

Inside all living cells, loosely formed assemblies known as biomolecular condensates perform many critical functions. However, it is not well understood how proteins and other biomolecules come together to form these assemblies within cells. MIT biologists have now discovered that a single scaffolding protein is responsible for the formation of one of these condensates, which forms within

The search for exoplanets - planets that orbit stars located beyond the borders of our solar system - is a hot topic in astrophysics. Of the various types of exoplanets, one is hot in the literal sense: hot Jupiters, a class of exoplanets that are physically similar to the gas giant planet Jupiter from our own neighborhood. Unlike "our" Jupiter, hot Jupiters orbit very close to their stars, comp

The intricate dance of cosmic dust microparticles in the vastness of space may seem insignificant. Still, understanding their behaviors is key to unraveling one of the universe's most profound mysteries: How do planets form? A groundbreaking study spearheaded by Japan's JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) offers valuable insights into the process and has highlighted so

New research has improved the accuracy of the parameters governing the expansion of the Universe. More accurate parameters will help astronomers determine how the Universe grew to its current state, and how it will evolve in the future. It is well established that the Universe is expanding. But with no landmarks in space, it is difficult to accurately measure how fast it is expanding. So,

In the middle of the last century, physicists found that protons can resonate, much like a ringing bell. Advances over the last three decades have led to 3D pictures of the proton and significant insight into its structure in its ground state. But little is known about the 3D structure of the resonating proton. Now, an experiment to explore the 3D structures of resonances of protons and ne
